We are pleased with the strong response and look positively ahead to conclude new business development.” – by Organic Farming and Food Quality Department, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Poland (exhibitor)

A Hong Kong trading company is negotiating to purchase apple jelly and apple baumkuchen while an Indian buyer indicated an intent to distribute Aomori apples. The Expo opens up a lot of new business opportunities in Hong Kong and other markets.” – by  Department of Tourism, Trade, Flights and International Exchange, Aomori Prefectural Government (exhibitor)
